The Review on Antimicrobial Resistance released its final report and recommendations warning that antimicrobial-resistant infections such as drug-resistant tuberculosis could kill 10 million people a year by 2050 without an urgent expansion of resources and funds.

A report by the Review on Antimicrobial Resistance examines the central role that infection prevention, control, and surveillance need to play in combatting the rise of drug-resistant infections, including drug-resistant TB.

The report provides a high-level assessment of the development pipeline for new antibiotics, and sets out the Review’s initial proposals for the action needed at a global level to kick-start antibiotic drug discovery efforts.

Independent review recommends first steps to tackle drug-resistant superbugs.
